Research Interests

My research looks to better understand the genetics of traits that alter an individual’s risk of cardiovascular disease and that cause rare bleeding, coagulation and thrombotic disorders.

My work seeks to identifies common genetic variants that cause differences in platelet traits and platelet function in healthy individuals and in stroke and acute coronary syndrome patients in partnership with the Cambridge NIHR BioResource, the Stroke Research Group at Cambridge University Hospitals and the Department of Interventional Cardiology at Papworth Hospital.

I also lead the ThromboGenomics clinical diagnostic service for to identify rare variants that cause patients bleeding, coagulation and thrombotic disorders and am training as a Consultant Clinical scientist through Health Education England’s Higher Specialist Scientific Training program.
